In a week the men will be en- tirely outfitted with all necessary cloth- ing and camp equipments, that is, just as soon as it has been ascertained just what are thelr needs. One very important fact that will be brought out by the requisi- tions upon the Government is that it will show just the condition the National guard_is in in regard to equipments. Shls will have the effect of calling the tate authorities' attention to the condi- tion of those tre i guard, oops still remaining in the THE “HEAVIES” NOW AT WORK. They Have Taken Pos- session of the Old Woolen Mill. The battalion of heavy artillery which has been quartered at the old First Reg- iment armory ever since the battery rolls | were opened there for volunteers, was astir bright and early yesterday morn- | ing, for the order had come to proceed to the new quarters at Fort Mason, where the battalion will remain until the Gov- ernment can equip it properly. The men had nearly all been provided with blankets, and these slung over the shoulder in military fashion, besides the few uniforms brought along with the | men of the Sacramento cavalry troop when they took service as heavy artil- lery, were the only claims to military dis- | tinction which the battalion could boast. It was 10 o'clock.before the batteries were started, but the men soon dropped into step and marched steadily up Van Ness avenue, winning cheers of encour- agement as they went along. They were all assigned to places in the Fontana warehouse before the call for dinner | came, and before the afternoon had gone | the men had had thelir first drill and had all been *sized” by their battery com- manders, and the temporary non-commis- | sioned officers had been chosen. The building in which the troops are ccted by George Mero and Edward !\“ 1 v},nflbrmin was in the act of at- | quartered is the old woolen mill, which Marks SATIRTEL VAN 2 eket.

He is very proud of the fact that it was in the vessel built at the Union Iron Works that Admiral Dewey convinced the world that the United States has a navy of which it may be justly proud, and also that San Francisco's mechanics contri- buted their share in constructing a por- tion of this navy.

When it was decided that no foreign flags should be carried in procession, by order of the Governor, the San 'Francisco vereins dropped their beloved German flag for the stars and stripes, and a Cali- fornia flag, to which their alleglance was pledged. Hence they claim to be as loyal to Uncle Sem as any troops in America. ‘As the organization is composed of men whose heads are crowned with locks of gray, they would not be accepted as vol- unteers in the regular service.

All the boats coming to Tiburon in the morning were crowded with cosmopolitan throngs. An original feature was the sale on the boats and trains of the popular Con Grau's photograph. The money rea- lized ($45) will be donated to the Red Cross relief fund. Grau, Joe Mayes and Charles McLane were resplendent in white flannel suits—a genuine angelic trio. Shooting, bowling, guessing contests, dancing and other features took up a good En.rt of both the morning and afternoon. ouis Berger, the great ‘‘Poohbah’ of the drummers, acted as mascot for Harry Roessler, who won the heavy-weight race for the eighth consecutive year.

While it is quite true that the proportion of deaths from malaria as an immediate cause is proportionately small as cited in annual mortu- ary statistics, yet physicians are thoroughly convinceds that It cruses maladies of a fatal character, and begets dangerous nervous pros- tration. This ‘malady is eradicated and tters, which Vented by Hostetter's Stomach Bi also cures biliousness, !and ayspepsia. All Supplies Are Purchased. Advance Guard of Oregon Volunteers Leave Portland. FFICIAL and private messages received in this city yesterday clearly indicate that the Govern- ment is making great haste to or- ganize the expeditions from San Francisco to the Philippine Islands. Tel- egrams announce that volunteer troops from Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas, as well as volunteers from ‘Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Nevada and South Dakota have been or- dered to this city. Space will be found on the Presidio reservation for the en- campment of the incoming regiments. Dispatches received at army headquar- ters in the Phelan building yesterday did not state when General Merriam would be in San Francisco. It is thought the general wants to make sure that all the details for the organization and muster- ing in of the Washington and Oregon vol- unteers will be settled before he leaves Vancouver to establish permanent head- quarters here. He has detailed two mem- bers of his staff—Lieutenant W. S. Graves and Lieutenant J. B. Bennett—to assist in mustering in the volunteers from the two States mentioned. The following telegram was received at army headquarters yesterday: WASHINGTON, D. C., May 11, Major J. S. Witcher, Paymaster, U. 2 San Francisco: You are hereby relieved from duty at San Francisco by the Secretary of War, who directs as necessary for public serv- ice that you proceed to Portland, Or., and re- port by letter to the commanding officer of the department of the Columbfa for duty as chief yaymaster of that department. By com- mand_ of MAJOR-GENERAL MILES. HWAN, Assistant Adjutant-General. The recruiting station of the Third United States Artillery on the fourth floor of the Phelan building is one of the busi- est places in San Francisco. The recruit- ing officer, Lieutenant Delamere Skerrett, U. 8. A., had 100 applicants in line yester- day. Two hundred men have been en- rolled, and the army surgeons have all they can do to keep up with the recruit- ing officer. The Third Artillery is an ex- cellent regiment, commanded by officers of superior intelligence. The grade of the service is high, and when the war is over the men who are now enlisting may be mustered out if they desire to leave the army. To bring the regiment up to the war standard of 203 men to each battery, places can be found for 800 recruits. Lieutenant Boyd of the Fourth United States Cavalry is doing a fine business in the recruiting line at his station on the Presidio. Forty recruits were assigned to various regiments vesterday by Colonel Morris, commanding the post. Captain Long, acting chief quartermas- ter of the department, is actively engaged in procuring ships to transport troops and supplies to Manila. The steamships Ohio and Connemaugh, belonging to the Inter- national Steamship Company of Philadel- Ehla, were secured yesterday. The Ohio as cargo space for 2300 tons, and can carry 1000 troops. The Connemaugh is a freighter, with a capacity of 2000 tons. The work of preparation for the expedi- tion is g0 far advanced that all the food supplies have been purchased and ware- housed. Nothing remains to be done in this line beyond storing the supplies on the steamships which may be engaged to carry the goods to Manila. The Australia went on the dry dock yesterday noon. According to a private telegram re- ceived at the Presidio. yesterday by Colo- nel A. J. Coffee, the First Battalion of Oregon Volunteers left Portland last evening for this city. Colonel Summers, commanding the Oregon regiment of vol- unteers, anniownced that eight companies wou! eave forthis cit, B peninn y next Sunday EDISON COMPANY BLAMED. Vote of Censure by a Coroner’s Jury for Leaving a Two Thousand Volt Wire Uninsulated. The Edison Electric Light Company was blamed by a Coroner's jury yester- day for the, death of Charles Froid, a lineman employed by the Sunset Tele- phone Company. Froid was making some repairs to a telephone line on April 22 when the line broke and fell across a wire of the Edison company. The latter wire, according to the testimony of the wit- Tesses, was charged with an alternating current of 2000 volts. Froid received the full force of the current and died in the ambulanc (I)n the way to the City Recelv- 1598 S. A vorkmen of the deceased testi- fied that the Edison wire was not insulat- ed. The jury returned a verdict, in which the following occurred: *“‘That had said wire been properly covered death might have been avoided.” ADVERTISEMENTS.
